Just a few photos of the cattle out on the farm that I happened to get yesterday, thought some of you might be interested. Comments welcome as usual.
5yr old cow, ex show heifer, feeding a 2 week old calf
rising 2yr old heifer
bull, approx 12 yrs old. Has been one of the main herd sires, among others he has sired the 2yr heifer above, the chocolate heifer I've posted recently and the reserve champion bull of melbourne show. He is in pretty good nick for a bull of his age but his teeth are worn down so he needs a bit of supplementary feeding when the grass is so short . . . unfortunately the season means that feed is so expensive he will probably be put down in a few weeks time. Very sad, such a terrific, quiet old bull.
a couple of calves that were following me around the paddock as I was taking photos. Bull on left, heifer on right.
